SCOOP: An internal DHS document obtained by 404 Media shows for the first time CBP used location data sourced from the online advertising industry to track phone locations.

This surveillance can happen through all sorts of apps, such as video games, news apps, weather trackers, and dating apps.

I haven't seen this POV about what taxes are for before. It explains that taxes do not fund the government, and explains what they do.

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

To understand what's happening in Iran today, you have to know about the history of Western intervention in the country.

In the early 1900s, the British secured oil rights in the country until 1993, where they only agreed to pay Iran 16% of the total profits.

This was seen as an unfair deal. 🧡

Would you be surprised to hear that none of the leading American political reporters are talking about this? They are acting like this never happened. Because it reveals the state of mind of our Commander in Chief. And that’s a taboo subject in America.

My game will release in a month, anyone looking to bundle ?

It's an arena shooter with an emphasis on positioning and clever #roguelite builds. It also has unique visuals #pixelart

Go implement a cheat code in your game, right now. It doesn't have to be useful. Consider Butts Mode, which simply delivers to the corpos all the dignity that they deserve:

Okay, screw it, I think I deserve a week-long side project! The goal is having a sandbox where you can build stuff from all those uniform polyhedra, joining them across faces. I'll release it as a webgl app after it's finished!

New, free TechAudioTools lets you get serious with Unreal's MetaSounds - CDM Create Digital Music MetaSounds is a powerful platform for sound, synthesis, and procedural audio and music. And the price is right (free). But in the past, it had some gaps in out-of-the-box functionality. Epic has quiet...

Remember pre 1913 when Congress would beat the shit out of their own members for not doing their job and that fights like this were common occurrence as part of the political process?

Ever wonder if that should be brought back

When I was a kid (like 7) in a funcoland, there was a display giving away cards for the launch of zelds ocarina of time.

I picked one up, put it in my wallet, and held on to it for the rest of my life.

Apparently that card I still have now sells for 400 dollars lol.

MAGA called me pro-war for saying we should give Ukraine weapons to help them defend their sovereignty.

This morning, they're cheering as America bombs Iran.

They stand for nothing.

Nothing whatsoever.

Same reason John Cena can obliterate an opponent only to have him return.

it's wrestling. Donald Trump is a wrestler, and his fans are invested in his kayfabe. it doesn't have to make sense, it just has to feel good

It's kind of amazing in a sad just how much everything sucks right now.

And with me not able to find a job, can't even buy games or shit to try and escape it all.

I...might've gotten a wee bit sidetracked into modelling uniform polyhedra for a random idea πŸ˜…
